New Carbon Block Heat Exchangers |
Because graphite in inherently weak in tension and strong in compression, the cylindrical heat exchanger, with it's axial spring compression principle, accomodates higher design pressures.

Important Features Are:
- Solid drilled construction in multiples of 14" long sections; or single monolithic cores without cemented joints, up to 70" in length.
- Excellent corrosion resistance to a wide variety of chemicals.
- ASME code construction (lethal designation available).
- Standard maximum allowable working pressures - 100 PSIG for both process and service sides. Higher allowable working pressures may be available.
- No exposed graphite.
- Alternating rows of process and service holes for maximum heat transfer.
- Design temperature of 360 degrees F. Can be exceeded for certain applications with water cooled heads.
- All exchangers are hydrostatically tested at 1-1/2 tiems the MAWP on process and service sides prior to shipment.
- All graphite components are pneumatically tested after resin impregnation for assurance of an impervious graphite structure.
- The highest standards of quality control are maintained throughout the manufacturing process.
- Compressed TFE gaskets between sections.
- Horizontal or verticle supports.
- Nozzle sizes are provided to suit application.
- Installation, maintenance and operating instructions are available.
